What it is

Define software architecture using code.

Real use case example

"A founder, Sarah, needs to scale her SaaS application's infrastructure. She uses Architecture as Code to create a model representing her existing architecture and deploys it to AWS. Next, she configures automated deployment and testing flows using her model. Finally, she integrates her model with her development team's workflow and iterates on her architecture as the company grows."
